The parade was the most successful OF
modern times. There could hardly be i'm
agined anything more inspiring than the
sight of thirty Thousand uniformed militia
men, each regiment headed by band of
music. Each company turned "face
about as 1t reached the Presidents stand
and saluted, amidst the cheers of countless
thousands. Among the regiments deserv-
ing of more than passing notice were the
| Governors Foot Guards, Of Hartford, who
were unanimously pronounced to be the
most handsomely uniformed set of men in
the parade; the First Regiment, of Massa-
chusetts; the Gate City Guards, Of ATTAIN
Ia, with Governor Gordon at their head;
the Baltimore Light Infantry and the Bal
timore Rifles (colored) the Butler Guards,
Of South Carolina, and the Virginia troops.
These were all heartily applauded, and
their splendid appearance universally COM
mented upon. The New York State militia
marched with columns of men on each side
of their band of nearly one hundred pieces,
forming pretty spectacle Gilmore's
band, leading the Twenty y-second regiment,
outshoue all the other musical features, of
the parade and Pat Gilmore himself was
the recipient OF many compliments. AS
between the different New York regiments
a disinterested observer would find 1T diff
cult to pass an opinion as to which excellcd.
Brooklyn's crack regiment, the Twenty
third, marched thirty-four abreast, pro-
ducing novel effect. The Albany jack
son Corps received q graceful bow of rec
ognition from the President.
Governor Foraker, at the head Of the
Fourteenth Ohio regiment, had to keep his
head uncovered for long time in order to
| acknowledge the vociferous cheers Of his
numerous friends. The Fourteenth carried
with them the battle.scarred flags, relics of
| the late unpleasantness. Governor LARA
bee, of Iowa, at the head Of the Governors
Foot Guard bowed to the President and Mrs.
Cleveland as he rode by the stand. Directly
behind them came the colored troops from
| Washington who were heartily greeted.
The rear Of the parade was brought up by
the Grand Army of the Republic, and as
each company passed in front of the stand
it's commander gave salute, which was
gracefully recognized by the President.
The appearance of the veterans, some on
crutches, and all bearing on their visages
the unerring mark of time, seemed to
arouse sentiment among the spectators
which the preceding youthful looking
militia failed to produce. The veterans had
seen service while their predecessors in the
line of march wanted to see ii. During the
time The Grand Army was passing the
President remained standing with his head
uncovered.
The order issued by Department Com
mander Of the G. A. r.. that only Post Com
manders should salute, was not strictly ad-
hered to. Instead of walking, facing
head covered Us ordered many Of the
rank and file passed the stand with uncov-
cred heads, and when Garfield Post No. 4,
of Newark, came up, the front ranks
turned .face about" and sent up rousing
cheer for the President, which he grace
fully acknowledged. The cheer was taken
up by the crowd and carried to the echo.
It was 2:45 o'clock when the last of the
parade passed the stand, the Presidential
party descended and walked to the La
fayette Hotel, half square distant They
walked between double columns of the
City Troop drawn up as an escort. There
, was continual round Of cheering as they
walked along to which the President re-
sponded by removing his hat. leIft

stand, the following is about the number OF
men participating in the parade: United
States troops; 800; Delaware, one full regi.
ment; Pennsylvania, 5000; New Jersey,
l,5OO; Georgia, 80; Connecticut, 100; Massa.
chusetts, 1000; Maryland, 1000; South

friends retired from the balcony of tho La
l fayette Hotel and were driven to the Belle.
vue Hotel, where, by previous engagement,
4 they lunched with Mrs. George W. Childs
President and Mrs. Cleveland were ac.
corded brilliant reception at the Academy
of Music last evening. 1t was one Of the
greatest social gatherings ever witnessed
in Philadelphia It is estimated that over
10000 prominent gentlemen and ladies
entered the magnificently decorated build
ing and grasped Mr.. Cleveland's hand. The
large hall was uncomfortably filed long
before the Presidential party arrived.
They took up q position at the rear emo
! Of the stage. Cardinal Gibbons, Arch
bishop Ryan, the visiting diplomats, Gen
eral Sheridan and Admiral Luce, were the
! first to greet the President. 1t was mid
night before the tedious pump-handle pro.
